HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 283,953, dated August28, 1883.

Application filed April 27, 1582.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, H. CLAY Basson, of Troy, in the county ofRensselaer, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Heating-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to` the accompanying drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which-n Figure lis aperspective view, from the rear,of my improved stove; and Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of therear side of the same upon a line passing from front to rear.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of theiigures.

The design of my invention is to enable an ordinary direct-draftheating-stove to be easily and with little expense converted into arevertible-flue stove, and to this end it consists in the means wherebya direct-draft stove, complete in itself, may be converted into adiving-flue stove, which is also complete in exterior finish andappearance, substantially as hereinafter specified.

In the annexed drawings, A represents the bottom plate, B the ash-pitsection, C the fuelchamber section, D the `combustionchamber section, Ethe `magazine-section, and F the top plate, of a heating-stove of usualconstruction. Fitted upon or attached to the rear side of the stove is aluc-section, G, which preferably has the form in horizontal sectionVshown in Fig. l, and extends from its connection with the combustion,-chamber D to the bottom' plate, A, at which latter point the detachablebottom plate, g, of said section has such form and dimensions as to`make it an apparent continuation or rearward extension of said bottomplate. 'The upper portion of the section G opposite the combustion-chamber conforms to the style and Renewed July 7, 1883. (No model.)

l shape of the parts with which it comes into contact. Within thesection Gis a siphoniiue, g, of ordinary construction, which at one 4 5end communicates with the combustion-chamber and at its other end with apipe-collar, g2, while between its front side and the ash-pit section Bis a connecting-flue, H, that is controlled by a damper, and operates tocheck the 5o draft and to convey the dust from said ashpit to said flueg while ashes are being shaken into the ash-pit. The flue-sectiondescribed materially increases the heating capacity of the stove, iseasily constructed and applied, 5 5 and by its use with the detachablebottom plate, g, the necessity for special bottom-plate patterns isavoided, onebottoin plate answering equally well for a direct-draftstove and a revertible-lue stove.

I am aware that heating and cooking at tachments have before been usedupon the rear sides of stoves having diving and ascending ues, and donot claim the saine, broadly.

Having thus fully set forth the nature and 6 5 merits of my invention,what I claim as new 1s- In combination with a heating stove which has nodiving-Hue, but is complete and adapted is capable of attachment to therear side of the same, and when thus attached incloses the exit-tine andconverts said stove into a divingflue stove and forms a rearwardextension of the projecting bottom plate, substantially as 7 5 and forthe purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand thisI7 th day of March, 1882.
